In Yucatec society, under certain circumstances, suicide, especially suicide by hanging, was considered an honorable way to die. Ixtab would accompany such suicides to paradise (thus playing the role of a psychopomp). Here, joined by people who died as soldiers or as sacrificial victims, by women who died in childbirth and by members of the priesthood, they enjoyed a delectable existence rewarded with delicious food and drink and resting under the shade of a pleasant tree, Yaxche, free from all want.
The ancient Maya believed that suicides went directly to paradise. They had a special goddess who was considered the particular patron of those who killed themselves by hanging. Her name was Ixtab - She of the Rope - goddess of suicide. This goddess can be seen in the Dresden codex, where she appears hanging from the sky by a rope which is coiled around her neck. Her eyes are closed in death and on one of her cheeks is a black circle which represents the discoloration of the flesh due to decomposition.

The ancient Mayan people believed that under certain circumstances, suicides was an honourable way to die. The Mayan had a special goddess who was considered the guide of souls; responsible for escorting newly deceased souls to the afterlife, her name was Ixtab - She of the Rope - goddess of suicide. She led those who died as soldiers, as sacrificial victims, as women who died in childbirth and as members of the priesthood. The goddess Ixtab watches over the Mayan population hanging from the sky by a rope which is coiled around her neck with her eyes closed in death, waiting to escort the next honourable soul.

Well her ultimate I feel for her to be a carry should do damage. Now her ultimate is more support and makes Bastet's passive completely useless (not like it was useful before). Maybe something like she sacrifices herself to deal damage to all enemies within X radius 250/350/450/550/650 damage and provides allies in the area a 155 attack and movement speed buff. I know that also involves dying and takes away from the carry aspect, but it would prevent people from killing her, and not getting assists. Or maybe her ultimate could be a passive where when she died, the person dealing the final blow takes 150% of the damage dealt to her? What about that instead of the one I put? Sorry for the giant wall of text, these are just my opinions on her ultimate.
